Master of Business Administration University of Wales/HKMA
Despite having more than 20 years of experience working in an e-commerce firm, Alfred Cheng wanted to go back to school.
'It was not for just the title, but a desire for career and life improvement,' says Cheng, who hopes to continue to broaden his horizons in management by taking up a master of business administration (MBA).
He chose the MBA programme awarded by the University of Wales (below) at the Hong Kong Management Association because the assessments are based on written assignments and case studies that enhance interaction among students and lecturers, and because of the convenience of the weekend lecture schedule, he says.
Cheng has found the course very practical as it utilises a great variety of written assignments, case studies, and group discussions to help students better understand theories.
'The knowledge gained and skills acquired through management studies are now benefiting me in my day-to-day business interactions,' he says. 'The programme has equipped me with management tools and helped me evaluate business issues to brighten my career prospects. I found it very rewarding to exchange ideas with my lecturers and classmates who come from diverse backgrounds.'
